Report Card: Grading the Nittany Lions after a win against Rutgers

Running Backs: D

For a team that started the season with three running backs on the Doak Walker Award watch list, Penn State will go into the final game of the regular season still in search of its first 10-yard rusher. Keyvone Lee led the team on the ground and scored the fourth touchdown of the day in the fourth quarter, but Veilleux was the team’s second-leading rusher.

The blame for Penn State’s rushing struggles still falls largely on the offensive line, which has been the story of the season. Noah Cain did get involved with the offense a bit this season, but Penn State wasn’t a major threat on the ground.
